    Question Can i change My carb to Fuel injection

    I was wondering if i would be able to convert my carb engine to a fuel injected engine.. Ive seen alot of Accords have fuel injection and have a bit more power, the fuel injection system i can get off any other accord with a fuel injection system from one of the accords at the junk yards , id just clean it out good and do it my self but i wanted to know if i can , and Would i be able to change the fron of my 89 accord dx hatchback to the civic type of front that has the headlights, i like the projector headlights .. anyway hit me back with any info thanks

    It is possible. Talk to Carotman. He did the conversion last year.

    Yeah, ask me. :p


    Nah seriously, check the FAQ section and engine swaps section..

    Post your questions there and I shall answer... I prefer this over Email because we can share the knowledge.

    Talking

    Geez i was trying to figure out how to reply in the same thingie but hopefully i got it right. Im asking. Whats up with your swap.. lol And whats this about a V8? inthe a honda? isnt teh engine bay way to small for an 8.. No to mention where the hell you gonna get a front wheel drive V 8 then if you tell me its converted to back wheel drive then that would make it a back wheel drive V8 honda accord which until now if you did it has never been done. And id still like to know how the hell to make the corner lights clear, i saw one of the accords has it ... and the lights on my accord are very diffrent from the other i have the hatch back.. it has this Yellow turn single part thats sucks ass ...

    That's cause u kno better than to ask before u search lol


    All u have to do is search efi swap and you'll get a million threads on it and then if u still have a question then just ask the question on here and people will be happy to answer it.

    Edit: or efi conversion
